  1. Getting students to annotate your syllabus seems to be a very good idea on first glance.

    However I always found my students were relatively passive and I suspect would have looked rather blankly at me. Anyway this is what put the thought into my mind.

  2. Signal Ohio: Ohio college syllabi are going public under Senate Bill 1. “Ohio college students – or anyone with an internet connection – will soon be able to find out information about a class before ever enrolling. This fall marks the first time state institutions are required to publicly post undergraduate course syllabi under Senate Bill 1. The sweeping state law overhauling how higher […]

  3. 🎨🖥️ The article promises a treasure trove of #graphics #programming wisdom, but it's really just a glorified table of contents for a #book you’ll never read. 🙄 Who knew listing every term in a #college #syllabus could be passed off as "resources"? 📚🚫

  5. As the fall 2025 university and college semester wraps up, what inspires you about teaching or learning food studies? Perhaps a Canadian Food Studies article on pedagogy? We suggest you start with Phoebe Stephens’ and Lucy Hinton’s “The state of post-secondary food studies pedagogy in Canada” from vol. 8, no. 4 (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i4).

    Then check out the rest of this themed issue on Food pedagogies in Canada, guest edited by Michael Classens and Jennifer Sumner. Articles cover food literacy, integrated studies, sitopias, land-based learning, syllabi, bachelor’s degrees, farmers’ markets, food waste, campus cafeterias, performance, and food justice! (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i4)

  6. #ai should also not be used to create deepfake audio recordings that make it sound like the instructor accidentally started a voice memo on his phone and inadvertently recorded a panicked late-night rambling message where he admits that there are periods of his past where he seems to have blacked out and cannot recall any memories whatsoever.” #syllabus #academia

  7. A quotation from Lewis Carroll

       “Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied: “and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
       “I never heard of ‘Uglification,'” Alice ventured to say. “What is it?”
    The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. “Never heard of uglifying!” it exclaimed.    “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?”
       “Yes,” said Alice, doubtfully: “it means — to — make — anything — prettier.”
       “Well then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”
       Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, “What else had you to learn?”
       “Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, — “Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling — the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”

    Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) English writer and mathematician [pseud. of Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]
    Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, ch. 9 “The Mock Turtle’s Story” (1865)

  8. I'm in awe right now, but I need some advice. For several years, I've been seeking the book that Beau Brummell used to learn Latin. I know it was Introduction to the Latin Tongue for the use of Youth. There were many different editions, including The famous, but later, Eton Latin Grammar. He attended Eton from 1786 to 1794. I have a digital copy of one published in 1795, wich fits the timeframe perfectly, but it's a mess when trying to read the "full text" with NVDA (my screen reader) or to convert the pdf to text. Likewise, I have one from about 1824-5 that is a reprint of 1795, and though it's a bit clearer, it's still full of errors. The hard copy reprints I've found are all pictures of the originals, not cleanly retyped. Just now, I found an original 1824 edition, and it's in clean condition! I'm quite afraid, because I am totally blind, and in order to read it, I must hold it and turn the pages so that my software can scan it! I can either use my ArX Vision, which I wear on my head, or my Pearl Document Scanning Camera with Openbook. Either way, I would be touching a book that's 200 years old! However, no one seems to have a modern copy that is retyped. All are just pictures of old editions, and when I try to convert the pdfs to txt, or to read the pre-made html versions (all at the Internet Archive), they are full of errors! This would be fine in English, but I'm using the book to learn Latin!

    As a side note, here is my post in which I explain my search for a Latin tutor. I have not yet found one. If you think you can help me, please read said post before simply writing that you are a tutor. I am not using modern methods or pronunciation.

    Finally, this is the syllabus for the pre-1868 Eton College curriculum that I created after a lot of research. It includes links to the books I plan to use, as well as extras.

  9. I use a simple and joyful way to check if my students have read the course #syllabus: I hide the task to post pictures of a specific animal on the course plattform in the syllabus text. This term the course plattform is floading over with foxes.
    Besides the didactical dimension of this task, the posts reveal students' creativity and compose a nice thread to turn to when motivation fades.

  10. Getting your syllabus ready? Putting off getting your syllabus ready? If you answered YES to either of these questions, here's a classic (and still popular) episode to help you take a break from having to work on your #syllabus.

  11. As it's syllabus writing season again, here's my informed take on why students should *not* use large language models for social science writing.

    I took the time to try prompt engineering in response to my own assignments, and it led nowhere good.

  12. Braggy braggy moment: I have put together syllabi for fall, and there's still a week before my first class!

    Am drinking beer and watching a movie to celebrate. It has been a haaaaaaard five days. But I'm especially pleased for my sophomore class, which makes MUCH more sense than my first time through it. And it has almost 100% different repertoire. Go figure.
